I decided it was time to clean out the 80+ posts that have been accumulating in my draft folder over the last couple of years and stumbled upon this picture. I honestly have no idea what my original plans were for a post when I uploaded this, but OMG I miss cold cuts and deli sandwiches SOOO much. And I thought alcohol and sushi would be the big problem but fortunately Martinelli’s and cucumber avocado rolls have made a nice substitute. But oh what I would do for a cold cut trio subway sandwich right about now.

I’m pretty sure my first outing with Baby Girl will be to drive up to Nardelli’s for their Italian Cold Cut Grinder.

Woah! Blast from the past. My friend recently posted this to her instagram page with the hashtag “mamaduck” – what she (as one of a VERY small group of people knew at Halloween – that I was 6 weeks pregnant) was calling me in whispers throughout the day. The tutu that I added to aid in the ridiculousness of my costume was strategically bought to hide the fact that due to the early first trimester pregnancy bloat – I was already sporting a bump despite baby girl being only the size of a pea. I laughed when I checked back to Halloween on my blog to see if I had already posted this picture. Turns out I didn’t post the picture but I did explain that I cancelled my Halloween plans this past October due to “stomach issues” (read: the oh-so-not-fun-and-so-glad-it-didn’t-last-past-the-first-trimester morning all-day sickness).

Since we decided to stay in the city after a night of Full Bunny Contact-ing we figured last Sunday would be the perfect time to check out the Fifth Avenue Easter Bonnet Parade (a.k.a. a bunch of people show of their bonnets on a car-free 5th Avenue – the crazier the better).
